Let’s cut the crap, shall we?

Letter December 21, 2014
The Taliban will come because we are in denial about their very existence and genesis.

ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to Chris Cork’s article of December 18 titled “Let’s cut the crap, shall we?”. The Taliban will come because we are in denial about their very existence and genesis. Our media anchors inadvertently help the Taliban by confusing the general public with unfounded conspiracy theories as to who is really behind these attacks. All these so-called theories are based on conjecture and emotion instead of hard proof. If Pakistan gets embroiled in international fracas with India, the US and the West because of these conspiracy theories, that will only help the Taliban get stronger and hurt us even more.
